Work in progress!The vet or anyone in the emergencies thread advise anything to help what’s left of his good eye?You are brave too. Keep up the good work, keep your chin up too. This is a tough situation with your neighbor. Consider aviary netting, maybe it could work, maybe not, but if nothing else maybe set it up across the top of your fence where that rooster comes over, it could be sort of vertically erected maybe?
I wonder if you can catch the Roo in the coop and rehome it?? In the meantime keep Jaffar in a safe locationI really don’t want to hurt that rooster next door, but talking to the neighbor, didn’t help. He’s aware that his roo is visiting on my yard. I have to keep my birds locked up until I can figure out what to do. The sheriff said remove the offending rooster quietly and permanently. Animal control doesn’t do chickens. I don’t know what to do
I love Jaffar too much to watch him get hurt
The kids can look but not touch apparently- they kindergarten kids.
Jaffar is not out of my sight.I wonder if you can catch the Roo in the coop and rehome it?? In the meantime keep Jaffar in a safe location
I called my veterinarian and they said that they would see him Monday. (It’s shorter if I just fly him there than drive)
It were me, I would order up some day old pullet chicks say 4 of them and give her. That way you wouldn’t have to deal with Roos.
Sophia - 6 weeks, then I gave her those 4 chicks, and she perked right up!
Is Aghathae near the bottom of the pecking order? I've heard that can be a problem, they don't have enough "rank" to be deemed worthy of raising chicks, Josephine could be telling her to stop.
